- enhancing growth and viability of Lactobacilli
- promoting rumen development in lambs and kids
MBS may have benefits for sheep and goats with:
- improving weight gain from an unchanged dry matter intake
- better feed conversion. carcass composition and meat quality traits
- increasing nitrogen retention
- enhancing gastrointestinal immunity
- enhancing urinary tract immunity
- enhancing respiratory tract immunity
- increasing growth performance of lambs and kids
MBS may be beneficial in the following areas for dairy goats
- increasing milk yield
- increasing butter fat percentage and protein
- decreasing mastitis
All of the above benefits may contribute to an overall increase in production levels for all aspects of the sheep and goat livestock industries.
